The story thus far. The Great Niche Adventure. Some Things I've Learned About Research. On 0527.2014 at 11:43. That question took up residence in the back of my mind, occasionally traveling to the forefront when I considered breaking out of the rut of stories informed by what I already knew. Daunted by the potential of failure, I shied away from experimenting, from discovery, and instead kept to the paths I’d walked so often. What do you want to know about it? But even with a direction and purpose, you d...

The story thus far. The Reading And Writing Balance. The Great Niche Adventure. The Reading And Writing Balance. On 0903.2014 at 10:04. As the previous post. Makes clear, I can go for depressingly long stretches of time without writing, but I’m unable to function if I’m not reading for fun, even sporadically. Which got me thinking about the trade-off of time spent writing and time spent reading, what the golden ratio is. What I expected the numbers to tell me was that as I read more books in a given year...

Ten Books That Stuck - [sic]
http://iamrazorwing.livejournal.com/52242.html
The story thus far. The Great Niche Adventure. Ten Books That Stuck. On 0210.2014 at 09:38. A few months ago, people on Facebook were posting their personal lists of ten books that stuck with them. The caveat: to do so quickly, without thinking. I’ve read hundreds of books. Coming up with ten is easy. Keeping it to ten? That’s a different story. Still I managed, though I confess I did spend a little time—not a lot, mind—thinking about this list. In no particular order:. A Wizard of Earthsea. In preparati...
